Do not use this App! Despite being subscribed, the App is asking me to pay for new issues. When I contact New Scientist, they say it is a Google Play Store issue, when I contact Play Store, they say it is an issue for New Scientist. Looking at the other reviews, I am not the only one with this problem. Update: after 3 weeks without access, I can now use my subscription again. Let's see how long this lasts.

Nice app, useful articles that are handy to keep up to date with science. The only issue i have is that content is not cycled quickly enough. E.g., on 4 out of 5 visits i only find 1 or 2 new articles, and if they don't happen to interest me I leave a bit disappointed. Consider more frequent updates and adding Earth, Chemistry, and Society sections, which are only available if you log in with a Web browser but not via the app.

Adore the content. Reading is broadly comfortable, and navigation is generally easy. I prefer the audio version of articles, and here, however, I have to say it's disappointing that so few of each issue's articles are read aloud. It's particularly frustrating that there is a feature that, for all intents and purposes, allows you to create a "playlist" of articles only for there to be no continuity or capacity to follow the order you've selected - the articles jump around or just repeat. fix plz
